Somewhere in a box of tapes I have a live set of Black Dethe I recorded myself back in the day. Haven't heard it in ages but i think it sounded pretty decent. If I can find it I'll try to rip it._________________"...that magnificent deer has vanished."

Just ran into this video magazine from 87 done by Ron Quintana who did the notorious bay area metal zine Metal Mania and hosted Rampage Radio. Has a bunch of cool live clips/interviews of stuff like Blind Illusion, Annihilation, Legacy/Testament, Mordred (demo days), Mercenary, Paul Baloff post Exodus, El Duce/Mentors, Watchtower (here on tour) and various other shit. It's a raw drunk/speed/stoned snapshot of the scene right as it was peaking and about to turn to shit with clean production and funk metal to come soon after.

I uploaded that years ago on a bootleg website.

I noticed a lot of stuff I ripped and shared years ago, has been popping up on Youtube.
Would be nice if rarities I was looking for appeared online for free too, instead of having to hunt for it and buy it.
For example, the weekly cable TV show that Ron did after the two Metal Mania VHS volumes?_________________power metal is usually gay, especially new power metal

I actually had no idea Metal Mania ever made VHS tapes or had that cable show until just now. I listened to Rampage Radio a lot between 84' when I discovered it until I moved out of the area for a few years in '87. This VHS is a nice blast from the past. Would love to see more from that cable show. I still have a few old audio cassettes of Rampage Radio around here somewhere, though they are not too interesting outside of a few bootleg live or demo tracks here and there._________________"...that magnificent deer has vanished."
